Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it... view more (2002-09-02)

Blocking Cancer-Causing Gene Improves Radiation Effectiveness, Jefferson Researchers Find
Inhibiting a particular cancer-causing gene can enhance the cell-killing effects of radiation, a team of radiation oncologists and cancer biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found.   view more (2006-11-09)

Personalized diets may offer relief to advanced cancer patients
It is well known that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy often experience nausea and loss of appetite. But until now, few researchers have looked into why this happens and what can be done to ensure that cancer patients maintain a healthy diet during treatment.   view more (2007-03-12)

Radiation for health
For decades, we have been told that exposure to radiation is dangerous. In high doses it is certainly lethal and chronic exposure is linked to the development of cancer.   view more (2008-06-19)

PET/CT planning beneficial for head and neck cancer patients
Using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning in head and neck carcinoma patients provides for excellent, local and regional disease control when compared to CT alone.   view more (2008-03-05)

Tumors stopped from spreading to new sites
For several types of cancer, persistently high levels of the soluble factor TGF-beta in the blood after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy correlate with increased risk of early metastasis and a poor prognosis.   view more (2007-04-06)

An added dimension for Europe in space: Paris, 24 June 2003
The Green Paper on European Space Policy is a strategy document which opens up a new era for Europe in space. To foster debate on the issues raised by the Green Paper, the European Commission and the European Space Agency jointly arranged broad consultation across Europe. With six meetings... view more (2003-06-13)

New space telescope aims to seek out and record explosive gamma ray bursts.
A state of the art space telescope built by scientists at UCL will make its way to the Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, USA on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the universes gamma rays. The telescope - called UVOT - will be one of three telescopes on a special NASA orbiting space... view more (2002-05-31)

Carefully Mixed Radiation Cocktail Reduces Collateral Damage In Breast Cancer Patients
A carefully determined mixture of electron and x-ray beams precisely treated breast tumors while significantly reducing collateral skin damage in 78 patients.   view more (2006-07-31)

Visualizing atomic-scale acoustic wavesin nanostructures
Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes of nanostructures such as LED lights.   view more (2008-07-07)

Safety risk for tritium pollution worse than we thought
NUCLEAR regulators have miscalculated the health risks from one of the world`s most widespread nuclear pollutants. People are twice as likely as previously thought to develop cancer after being exposed to tritium spread in hydrogen bomb tests and discharged by nuclear plants and factories.... view more (2002-05-29)

IMRT versus 3D CRT for prostate cancer, new long-term data assesses side effects
New research findings show men have fewer long-term gastrointestinal side effects with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) than with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) for prostate cancer treatment, despite the higher doses of radiation used in the IMRT group.   view more (2006-11-06)

Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy).   view more (2006-11-07)

Sandia experimental package of piezoelectric films to be part of NASA space station experiment
For the past three years a Sandia research team headed by Mat Celina has been investigating the performance of various piezoelectric polymer films that might one day serve as ultra-light mirrors in space telescopes.   view more (2006-08-10)

Inside job: new radioactive agents for colon cancer work inside cells
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a potentially novel way to fight colorectal cancer using tiny molecules to deliver potent barrages of radiation inside cancer cells, unlike current treatments that bind to the surface of cells and attack from the outside and cause unwanted side effects.   view more (2007-10-10)

Cluster helps to protect astronauts and satellites against 'killer electrons'
ESA's Cluster mission has revealed a new creation mechanism of 'killer electrons'-highly energetic electrons that are responsible for damaging satellites and posing a serious hazard to astronauts.   view more (2005-12-23)

Researchers discover atomic bomb effect results in adult-onset thyroid cancer
Radiation from the atomic bomb blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945, likely rearranged chromosomes in some survivors who later developed papillary thyroid cancer as adults, according to Japanese researchers.   view more (2008-08-29)

Normal tissue not spared in new forms of breast cancer radiotherapy
A five day course of radiotherapy to treat breast cancer may, in some cases, expose as much lung and heart tissue to potentially toxic radiation as does the standard six weeks of treatment, say researchers at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.   view more (2007-10-31)
